USGS EVENT
Time and Date = 2023-10-31 12:33:43 (UTC)
Location = 28.747°S 71.570°W
Depth = 35.0 km
Geomagnetic Location Polarity = GREEN-0
Lunar Resonant Drivers = Sun @ 150 degrees to the moon, Saturn @ Lunar Elongation, Venus @ Lunar Elongation
Combinational Drivers = Mercury and Mars at Conjunction to Sun, Venus and Neptune at Opposition, Saturn and Uranus at Elongation
Magnetic Disposition of Drivers
- Sun Positive (LOW)
- Saturn Positive (LOW)
- Uranus Neutral (LOW)
- Neptune Negative
- Mercury (Dia-Magnetic) Neutral HIGH
- Venus (Para-Magnetic Attenuator) Positive LOW
- Mars (Para-Magnetic) Neutral
Magnitude Calculation
Saturn + Uranus + Neptune + Sun + Mercury + Mars = 9.0m
Minus Attenuation from Atmosphere Venus(*3) = 6.5m to 7.5m Possible
Recorded USGS Magnitude = 6.6m
NOTE: Venus had 3 drivers in Geometry (-1.0m for each)
Uranus @ 120 degrees, Neptune @ Opposition, Saturn @ 150 degrees
(IF THERE WAS NO VEUNS ATTENUATION EVENT WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 9.0M)
